Dave_the_bass Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 [quote name='Roland Rock' timestamp='1390303747' post='2343699'] Anyone else want to throw a potential spanner in the works? [/quote] The cost of the geotec surveys where you're planning on firing this behemoth up? While I applaud your plans to destroy Nottingham; I wouldn't like to see a basschatter fall in to a sink hole caused by seismic activity! P.S. let me know when you're going to do it as there are a couple of hills nearby that'd give me an excellent view of the carnage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Haha I had forgotten the fact that 80% of Nottingham is built on mineshafts, and the other 20% on caves. There is a midlands bass bash on the cards, so all being well, I'll bring it then :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roland Rock Posted January 27, 2014 Author Share Posted January 27, 2014 Just a quick update for anyone interested (that includes you, Antone) I now have the power amp! I've been looking at the functions, and there are several possibilities to play with. I will soon have a Barefaced '69er and a Barefaced Super Twin, each are 4 ohms. I can: - run both cabs from one channel, 1000w at 2 ohms - run each cab from each channel, 800w at 4 ohms each side In this second mode, I can play around with crossovers. The '69er is a sealed cab which sounds superb across the range, although when pushing the low frequencies at volume, it does not stay very clean (sounds great in many applications, but not what I'm after ATM) The super Twin is ported, and can handle bass very cleanly at high volume. I can put anything under 90hz through the Super Twin, and anything over 90Hz through the '69er. The theory is that it will retain maximum clarity at very high volume, There are a variety of crossover frequencies to choose from, but 90hz is the one Alex has recommended. Then there is the low pass filter - worth playing with, although I already have a LPF pedal. There is also a sub bass setting, but I'm a bit scared to play with that one! I can also set a limiter so that a gig-share-idiot can't blow the speakers by cranking the levels (although in theory, each cab can handle the full 800w) Can't wait to get the new cab so I can start playing!
